52 Boxes in 52 Weeks

by Matt Kenney

Serving as exercises to help develop a range of essential woodworking techniques, here’s a collection of 52 box-making projects covering a variety of styles.

Beginning with a discussion on proportions, color and wood grains, the author discusses techniques such as matching grain at the corners, mitering, and finishing with shellac and milk paint. In addition, he shows how to make the pulls, liners, drawers, lids and other components. Illustrated with detailed color photos, the projects range in skill level, with scope to adapt the designs to create your own unique boxes.
